Introduction
Students are already talking about Options with their tutors and in their lessons, this includes some taster sessions.
All the subject leaders have produced information about their GCSE courses in a written format which will be published in the Options Booklet and sent home before half term, please make sure you take the time to read about the subjects on offer.
Each of the GCSE subject leads have also created a virtual presentation about their subject and these can be found below by clicking on the relevant subject. To ensure that students understand as much as possible about each of the GCSEs it is strongly recommended that time is spent watching these videos to find out more.
On Thursday 24th February an Online Options Evening will take place with the opportunity to book 7 minute appointments with subject specialists to find out more about the GCSE.
The Year 9 reports issued during February will give you an indication of progress and achievement in each subject area and further questions can be asked at the Year 9 Parents evening on Thursday 10th March.
Students will make their selection using Sims Online before Friday 18th March.
